Chapter 200 Mission Explanation Master
Due to inertia, Morrissey's hood fell off, and his long, silky silver hair flew up, revealing a handsome face that was difficult to tell whether it was male or female. A hint of surprise flashed in his blood-red eyes, as if he couldn't believe that someone as strong as him could be thrown away by the car.
When his body was thrown one meter away, he instinctively looked at the white magician sitting in the middle of the back row.
Sadler was also startled by this sudden scene, and slightly widened his dark golden eyes.
Seeing this, the goblins and the little dragon laughed secretly with schadenfreude.
“Hehehe——”
Seeing that Morrissey was about to fall backward, the passengers sitting nearby gasped, and some of them were amazed at the handsome appearance of the dark elf.
Morrissey's lips curled upwards. He flicked a thin metal cord from his hand and wrapped it around the pillar. Instantly, his body stopped leaning backward. With another firm tug, he rebounded, standing in front of the pillar once again. He quickly retracted the cord and replaced his hood, obscuring his distinctive dark elf features. He flicked his cloak with a gloved finger and continued to lean against the pillar as if nothing had happened, as if the previous incident had been an illusion.
Seeing that he didn't fall, the goblins and the dragon pursed their lips in disappointment.
Sadler let out a light breath and turned to look out the window. He really couldn't agree with the dark elf's show-off behavior.
"What a pity!" Budno whispered.
"That's right, that's right." Amanda nodded in agreement.
"He's a dark elf after all," Shu Li said helplessly, spreading his hands. Dark elves, like white elves, were agile and quick, reacting the moment they lost their balance.
What's more, he is a high-level wizard and his strength should not be underestimated.
Just now, when the dark elf fell backwards, his cloak flew up, revealing the badge on his magic robe.
He must have used the Crystal of the Sun, just like Sadler, to be promoted from an intermediate archmage to a senior archmage.
The dark elves' talents are no less than those of the white elves, and many of them become magic saints within two or three hundred years.
I don't know how many hundred years old Morrissey is.
"Wow, look—" Discio pointed excitedly out the car window.
Suddenly, everyone's attention was drawn to the city scenery outside the window.
The tower of the teleportation array is not in the city center. As the rail bus moves, the scenery of Igya City gradually comes into view.
The city of Vihish is even more bustling than before, a sight that is truly breathtaking. The buildings are neatly arranged, a blend of old and new, creating a breathtaking spectacle. The roads are wide and clearly divided according to the different modes of transportation. Rail buses, magic stone carts, horse-drawn carriages, and pedestrians all have their own paths, each without interfering with the other, maintaining an orderly flow.
Green plants and bright flowers bring infinite vitality to the city. Every few blocks of road there are small squares for people to rest, beautiful fountains and magnificent sculptures, which make pedestrians stop and admire them involuntarily.
Magicians, swordsmen, and adventurers of other races can be seen everywhere, and some even walk on the road unscrupulously with their contracted monsters.
"Sadler, aren't they afraid of being noticed when they carry their contracted monsters around with them?" Shu Li asked curiously upon seeing this.
"The laws in Igya City are very strict. Anyone who steals or commits a crime will not escape the punishment of the Temple of Thorns." Sadler said.
"Temple of Thorns?" The members of Team Light all turned to look at the White Mage.
Sadler nodded and patiently explained, "The Temple of Thorns is composed of magicians and swordsmen. It serves as the security department of the Atrium. They have branches in cities and villages. Whenever someone reports a crime to the Temple, they will investigate thoroughly, bring the perpetrators to justice, and send them to the Temple for trial. Those found guilty will be severely punished."
Dizio couldn't help but ask, "What is considered severe?"
Sadler said solemnly, "Depending on the severity of the crime, the punishments include fines, expulsion, flogging, imprisonment, and the death penalty."
When Shu Li heard the word "death penalty", he gasped.
It seems that this Temple of Thorns is not easy to deal with. No wonder there are no sneaky people on the streets of Igya City.
This is completely different from cities in other countries.
Even in the Dalia Empire's royal city of Adilan, thieves were rampant. Those whose money was stolen could only consider themselves unlucky. If they sought help from patrolling soldiers, they would not only be scolded but also beaten.
Because for patrol soldiers, if a theft occurs, it is considered as negligence and they will be punished by their superiors.
When Shu Li first entered the city of Vishish, he found that the streets were very "clean".
I didn't think much about it at the time, but now after listening to Sadler's words, I know that there is a "Temple of Thorns" in the atrium that is specifically responsible for managing public security.
Not bad, really good!
Danlov not only has great achievements in magic, but also has first-class management skills.
"Hey, what are those magicians doing?" Nasha pointed at the magicians on the roadside. They were wearing magic robes of the same color and style, and each of them held up their magic wands and cast magic.
Kumandi asked in confusion, "Looks like they're cleaning?"
I saw a magician casting wind magic, and the dust and garbage on the ground were swept together and fell into a nearby garbage truck.
"Wow, it seems like they are really doing cleaning work!" Budno's eyes sparkled.
Sadler said, "They are magicians who have taken on the task of street cleaning."
"Take the task?" Shu Li asked, his eyes lighting up. "Is there any reward for doing the cleaning task?"
When they heard the word "reward", the other members of Team Light pricked up their ears.
Before Sadler could answer, Morrissey, who was leaning against the pillar, sneered and said lazily, "It's profitable, one gold coin an hour, quite suitable for you magic rookies."
The little fairy and the little dragon glared at each other in dissatisfaction. Morrissey changed into a handsome posture, with the corners of his mouth raised and a wicked smile.
Shu Li pursed his lips and asked, "Sadler, can you tell us where in the city we can pick up missions?"
In order to get to school in time, they spent too much gold coins on the teleportation array, so they had to find a way to make money.
Sadler nodded and said, "In the courtyard, the Kotlin Temple will issue daily tasks. The magicians you just saw accepted the first-level tasks for city management. Although the rewards are low, the tasks are large in quantity and can be completed every day to ensure food and clothing. The second-level tasks are urban construction, moving bricks and building houses, paving roads, and managing green areas. The third-level tasks are running errands and delivering letters and goods. The fourth-level tasks are bodyguards, escorting employers to any place on the continent. The rewards increase according to the degree of danger. There are also some special tasks issued by individual employers. The rewards vary, and you can choose whether to accept them or not according to your personal preference."
"In addition to the Kotlin Temple, there are also the Adventurer's Guild, the Magician's Guild, the Swordsman's Guild, the Warcraft Guild, the Auction House, and others, all of which issue high-paying quests. Due to the high risk factor, you must sign a life-or-death agreement before accepting a quest. In the event of an accident, the person issuing the quest will not be held responsible."
"Finally, there's the Magic Tower—" Sadler paused, pointed out the window, and asked, "Do you see that tallest building?"
Shu Li and his friends looked in the direction he pointed.
It was a white tower that soared into the clouds. After coming out of the teleportation array, I could see it from afar. As the rail bus drove along, the white tower was always within my field of vision, as if it was right in front of me, yet out of reach.
Shu Li asked hesitantly, "Is that... a magic tower?"
The place where the god of law, Danlov, is located.
Ace, who was sitting next to him, looked at the white tower with deep green eyes.
"Yes, that's the power center of the atrium, the Magic Tower governed by the God of Magic, Danlov Girard. It's the holy place every magician dreams of visiting." Sadler's tone was filled with reverence. "Two thousand years ago, the God of Magic rebuilt the Magic Tower. It took him nearly five hundred years to complete. Atop the tower is a small city in the sky, where the continent's top magicians gather."
"Tsk, let me correct you, it's a human magician." The dark elf interrupted.
Sadler glanced at him and said, "If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb."
Morrissey shrugged.
Disio was impatient and tugged at the corner of Sadler's clothes: "What kind of tasks does the magic tower issue?"
Sadler ignored the dark elf and said in a gentle tone, "The Magic Tower issues missions to investigate dark forces every month. Only mages above the rank of Archmage are eligible to take them, and teams of five or more are required. The missions are long and the rewards are high, and the danger levels are S, SS, and SSS."
Shu Li smacked his lips in surprise: "So high!"
This is beyond the normal scope of the task, right?
However, investigating the dark forces is equivalent to making enemies with all dark believers, which is like walking on the edge of life and death, and you may lose your life at any time.
Sadler said in a deep voice, "The God of Law has always warned us that although the War of the Gods ten thousand years ago sealed the dark forces into Hell, the God of Darkness has not given up and will one day return. Many dark forces are still hidden throughout the continent, and we must eradicate them one by one to prevent them from uniting and reopening the gates of Hell."
Shu Li sighed: "The God of Law is indeed worthy of being the God of Law."
Danlov has been committed to helping the Elf King and revitalizing human magicians. After three thousand years of hard work, he has built a powerful atrium and trained countless outstanding magicians.
In the future, the human race will surely be like it was ten thousand years ago, with magic saints and gods everywhere, forming a powerful team and becoming one of the main forces to eliminate the dark forces.
Along the way, Team Light kept asking questions, and Sadler answered them patiently. Morrissey occasionally interjected a few mocking remarks, but they were all pushed back by Sadler.
Before we knew it, the rail bus arrived at the terminal and passengers got off one after another.
After sitting in the car for an hour, Shu Li's limbs were numb, so he stretched on the platform.
"Where is the St. Villiers School of Magic?" Disio looked around but couldn't find any building that looked like a school.
Morrissey said, "Don't look for it, it's not around here."
Amanda was stunned: "No? Then where is it?"
Ace raised his hand and pointed at the seven beams of light a hundred meters away: "There."
Shu Li asked, "How can we be sure of that?"
Ace smiled, "Look closely, there's a giant magic circle above those beams of light."
Shu Li and his friends opened their eyes wide, and for a long moment, their faces were filled with surprise.
"Wow, it's true!"
"The magic circle is so beautiful!"
"Is this... a defensive magic circle?"
"What is the purpose of the light column?"
"Let's go! I can't wait to get to the academy."
The goblins and dragons were ready to make a move. Nasha clasped her hands together, her face showing excitement, while Ace was the calmest among them.
Sadler looked at the energetic young wizards and said gently, "Come on, I'll take you to the academy."
He took the lead and headed in one direction. Team Light followed happily. Morrissey curled his lips and fell slowly behind.
After walking halfway down the street, the view ahead suddenly opened up. In the huge square stood dozens of tall statues, each of which was lifelike. Some were magicians, some were swordsmen, and some were of other races, such as dwarves, winged people, mermaids, fairies, elves...
"Wow--"
The magic apprentices looked up, stunned.
When Shu Li walked to the statue in the middle, he was stunned.
This is... a statue of the Elf King? !
